The Warrior, Is to Enlighten the Minds and Hearts of Its Members! TEXAS LONE STAR CHAPTER / KOREAN WAR VETERANS RRIOR WA THE Volume 19 - Issue 6 JUNE 2009 Formed - February 1991 By Lee & Charlotte Henderson, Publishers / Editors Our Mission as Editors of the Warrior, is to Enlighten the Minds and Hearts of its Members! MEMORIAL DAY SERVICES . Memorial Day 2009, was a beautiful, blue sky day, with a few white wispy clouds. As we en- tered the hallowed grounds at the Houston VA National Cemetery, there were two fire trucks with ladders extended, forming an arch, for visitors to drive through, with a flag a flying high from the top of the arch, at the entrance. The roads throughout the cemetery were proudly flying American flags. There was a huge standing room only crowd in attendance, all paying homage to the veterans, and the fallen heroes. The program for the mornings activities began with a fly over of a US Coast Guard Rescue Helicopter, fol- lowed with a Cannon Salute by the Sons of the Confederate Veterans and Sons of the Union Veterans. The Parade of Colors was, as always, an impressive sight. Our Color Guard, of approximately 14 members, in- cluding John Pedraza, who drove in from San Antonio, just to be with his friends and march with the colors, was one of the largest groups. Stoney Stone did a wonderful presentation of the POW/MIA Ceremony. Something new was added this year. White Dove Memo- ries, released a covey of beautiful white doves that flew up and circled the field several times. This was truly impressive. Frances and David Velasco carried the wreath during the Parade of Wreaths. David has a brother, Frank, who was lost in Korea in 1950. His remains have never been found and with each new discovery, his hopes are raised. Hopefully, one day soon, he’ll receive the news that Frank has been found. Josh Flynn sang a beautiful new song, ‘In God We Still Trust’. Hopefully we will hear him sing it again real soon. Later, Josh was asked to sing again, and this time he encouraged the people to join him. The program ended with a rifle salute, followed by Echo Taps. After the ceremony at the cemetery, most everyone met at Pappas Restaurant for a greatEagle meal atop andthe con- versation. There were about 40 or more, members and wives who attended. War Memorial BEAR CREEK CEREMONIES - JULY 25, 2009 Please mark this date on your calendar, and do not let anything else get in the way. July 25th at 9:00 AM, has been selected as the date and time for the ceremonies celebrating the 56th Anniversary of the end of the Korean War. The War started 59 years ago on June 25, 1950 and the truce was signed on July 27th, 1953. Ceremonies will be held at the War Memorial, at Bear Creek Park. Mr. Jim Nier, executive director of the Texas Veterans Commission, will be the principal speaker. Ar- rangements are being made to include the Korean-American Association of Houston, the Korean Consul Gen- eral, and other members of the Korean Community. It is important that we have a large turnout of TLSC members for this occasion. We have scheduled this event on Saturday, the 25th, in order to make it easier for everyone to be there. Our turnout here will set the tone for the even larger event, we have started planning, the celebration of the 60th Anniversary of the war, next year.

  • View Mirror to the Windshield Had Melted Off in the Heat, So I Turned Around in My Seat and Watched the Gravel Driveway As I Backed Out
    ABSTRACT THE DIRT ON DOREEN AND OTHER NEWS by Meagan Sliger This collection of short stories is centered on a small town dynamic in which characters that have been raised on idle gossip and provincial ideas begin to question the values they have grown up with. Set primarily in Southwestern Ohio, the belief systems these characters have been carrying are challenged in unexpected ways. The stories are arranged in the reverse chronological order from which they were written. THE DIRT ON DOREEN AND OTHER NEWS A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Masters of Arts Department of English By Meagan Elizabeth Sliger Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2008 Advisor: Margaret Luongo Reader: Brian Roley Reader: Tim Melley CONTENTS 1.

MABEL AND GOLIATH 53 ii THE RACE I have entered a road race. It is a 5k and I believe I will win my age group if not the entire race overall. For the women, of course. I am not fast enough to contend with the men. I believe I will win, because I believe if I believe I will win then it is likely that I will. More likely anyway than if I believe I will not win. So I stand at the starting line telling myself I will win, telling myself I am faster than all the other women here and that I can, without question, win the race.

Sneak into the lives of five women: Susan, a single mother; Lynette, a woman desperately trying to b alance family and career; Gabrielle, an exmodel who has everything but a good m arriage; Bree, a perfect housewife with an imperfect relationship and Edie Britt , a real estate agent with a rocking love life. These are the famous five of Des perate Housewives, a primetime TV show. Get an insight into these popular charac ters with these Desperate Housewives quotes. Susan Yeah, well, my heart wants to hurt you, but I'm able to control myself! How would you feel if I used your child support payments for plastic surgery? Every time we went out for pizza you could have said, "Hey, I once killed a man. " Okay, yes I am closer to your father than I have been in the past, the bitter ha tred has now settled to a respectful disgust. Lynette Please hear me out this is important. Today I have a chance to join the human rac e for a few hours there are actual adults waiting for me with margaritas. Loo k, I'm in a dress, I have makeup on. We didn't exactly forget. It's just usually when the hostess dies, the party is off. And I love you because you find ways to compliment me when you could just say, " I told you so." Gabrielle I want a sexy little convertible! And I want to buy one, right now! Why are all rich men such jerks? The way I see it is that good friends support each other after something bad has happened, great friends act as if nothing has happened.

  • Idioms-And-Expressions.Pdf
    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.

  • Exploring Encounters: a Study of Two Family Guides Prepared for the Exhibition Fritz Scholder: Indian/Not Indian at the National Museum of the American Indian
    Exploring Encounters: A Study of Two Family Guides Prepared for the Exhibition Fritz Scholder: Indian/Not Indian at the National Museum of the American Indian March 2010 Office of Policy and Analysis Smithsonian Institution PREFACE The Office of Policy & Analysis was pleased to conduct this study comparing two family guides prepared for the exhibition Fritz Scholder: Indian/Not Indian at the National Museum of the American Indian. The exhibition was simultaneously presented at the museum building on the National Mall in Washington DC (Mall) and at the George Gustav Heye Center in New York City (GGHC), the museum’s New York branch. The exhibition featured paintings by Fritz Scholder (1937-2005). The study is much more than a comparison of two approaches; it provides insights into family experiences at the museum just as the museum is embarking on a major effort to make the Mall museum more family-friendly. The study was conceived by Clare Cuddy, Education Director at NMAI. Vilma Ortiz-Sanchez, an educator on the staff of NMAI, recruited the participants as they entered the museum. Whitney Klotz, an OP&A intern, skillfully conducted the interviews and transcribed them. Andrew Pekarik, a program analyst in OP&A, conducted some interviews, analyzed the data, and prepared this report. I thank them all for their skillful work. Carole M.P.

  • Bringewatt Diss Draft 2013-05-20
    Making Sense of the Label: What Emerging Adults Can Tell Us About Growing Up with a Mental Health Diagnosis by Elizabeth Harbison Bringewatt A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Social Work and Sociology) in the University of Michigan 2013 Doctoral Committee: Professor Karin A. Martin, Co-Chair Associate Professor Mary C. Ruffolo, Co-Chair Associate Professor Renee Anspach Associate Professor Karen M. Staller © Elizabeth H. Bringewatt 2013 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I’ve lived in four different states during my six years in the doctoral program, and feel unbelievably fortunate to have found such incredible support networks in each of them. With each interstate move, my network of mentors, colleagues, and friends has only grown wider and richer. There are so many to thank. I developed the questions that I would later tackle in my dissertation very early on in the program. Soon after arriving at Michigan, I was taken under the wings of my four committee members, who encouraged and informed my work from the very start. Mary Ruffolo helped me connect research to practice, encouraging me to use my field placement experiences as a lens for developing my research questions. As I progressed through the program, she carefully and reassuringly guided me over the hurdles. When I left Ann Arbor, Mary was immensely helpful in strategizing ways to stay connected, and is very much to thank for this seamless transition. As my co-chair in Social Work, she offered unwavering encouragement, often convincing me that I was ready for the next step long before I realized it.

All the other guys got to take home goldfish in little plastic bags. I won him because I guessed there were three hundred and forty-eight jelly beans in Mrs. Fargo's jar. Really, there were four hundred and twenty-three, she told us later. Still, my guess was closest. "Peter Warren Hatcher is the big winner!" Mrs. Fargo announced. At first I felt bad that I didn't get a goldfish too. Then Jimmy handed me a glass bowl. Inside there was some water and three rocks. A tiny green turtle was sleeping on the biggest rock. All the other guys looked at their goldfish. I knew what they were thinking. They wished they could have tiny green turtles too. I named my turtle Dribble while I was walking home from Jimmy's party. I live at 25 West 68th Street. It's an old apartment building. But it's got one of the best elevators in New York City. There are mirrors all around. You can see yourself from every angle.

  • Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing.Pdf
    My biggest problem is my brother, Farley Drexel Hatcher. Everybody calls him Fudge. I feel sorry for him if he’s going to grow up with a name like Fudge, but I don’t say a word. It’s none of my business. Fudge is always in my way. He messes up everything he sees. And when he gets mad he throws himself flat on the floor and he screams. And he kicks. And he bangs his fists. The only time I really like him is when he’s sleeping. He sucks four fingers on his left hand and makes a slurping noise. When Fudge saw Dribble he said, “Ohhhhh . see!” And I said, “That’s my turtle, get it? Mine! You don’t touch him.” Fudge said, “No touch.” Then he laughed like crazy.

    COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS FOR English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects _____ Appendix B: Text Exemplars and Sample Performance Tasks OREGON COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS FOR English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects Exemplars of Reading Text Complexity, Quality, and Range & Sample Performance Tasks Related to Core Standards Selecting Text Exemplars The following text samples primarily serve to exemplify the level of complexity and quality that the Standards require all students in a given grade band to engage with. Additionally, they are suggestive of the breadth of texts that students should encounter in the text types required by the Standards. The choices should serve as useful guideposts in helping educators select texts of similar complexity, quality, and range for their own classrooms. They expressly do not represent a partial or complete reading list. The process of text selection was guided by the following criteria: Complexity. Appendix A describes in detail a three-part model of measuring text complexity based on qualitative and quantitative indices of inherent text difficulty balanced with educators’ professional judgment in matching readers and texts in light of particular tasks. In selecting texts to serve as exemplars, the work group began by soliciting contributions from teachers, educational leaders, and researchers who have experience working with students in the grades for which the texts have been selected. These contributors were asked to recommend texts that they or their colleagues have used successfully with students in a given grade band. The work group made final selections based in part on whether qualitative and quantitative measures indicated that the recommended texts were of sufficient complexity for the grade band.
